Too true Entwisi. It is merely a money making concern. What bugs me is the company (which shall remain nameless) is claiming that 8 out of 10 midwives recommend their product. This is total bull.... The only reason they have got away with it is because when they surveyed some midwives, the midwives could name their products.

Myself and a couple of colleagues once had to vet a very similar advert for a similar company. When it came to them saying that midwives endorsed it we pulled the plug and said no. The advert was televised without the endorsement bit. Nurses and Midwives are not allowed to endorse any product for profitable gain.
